In this slow Englewood market , it is starting to make more sense to buy than to rent 🏠🏡👍🏻👍🏻

The state of the housing market (Opinion piece): 🏠🏡🏠

The housing market just hit a level nobody wanted to see.

Home sales in February 2026 came in at 4.09 million annualized. That's the lowest reading since February 2009. The absolute bottom of the 2008 financial crisis.

Not since the worst housing collapse in modern American history have we seen numbers this low.

And unlike 2009 this isn't because of a financial system implosion. It's because of a standoff nobody can figure out how to end.

Sellers won't sell. They locked in 3% mortgage rates and moving means financing at 7%. The math doesn't work so they stay. And the inventory younger buyers desperately need never hits the market.

Buyers can't buy. Prices never corrected after rates rose because inventory never came. So you have 7% rates AND elevated prices simultaneously. The monthly payment on a median priced home today is roughly double what it was in 2020.

Both sides are frozen. And the volume chart shows exactly what that looks like.

The last time sales were this low the entire financial system was collapsing. This time the system is technically fine. It's just completely inaccessible for a huge portion of the population that wants to participate in it.

There's no easy fix here. Rates coming down helps but doesn't solve it entirely. More inventory helps but takes years to build. Price corrections require economic pain most people don't want.

The housing market isn't broken in the same way it was in 2009. It's broken in a different way that's arguably harder to fix because there's no single villain and no obvious solution.

Just millions of people on both sides of the transaction waiting for conditions that may not arrive anytime soon.

🚨 BIG NEWS: Florida House Votes to End Property Taxes for Homeowners! 🚨

In a historic 80–30 vote today, the Florida House of Representatives passed a sweeping plan that could eventually eliminate nearly all property taxes on primary residences!

If this becomes law, Florida homeowners would see their non-school property taxes phased out entirely, potentially saving families thousands of dollars every year.

What you need to know:
✅ Who it’s for: Only homeowners with a homestead exemption (primary residences).
✅ What stays: You would still pay taxes for local school districts, which are not part of this cut.
✅ The Catch: It still needs to pass the Florida Senate and then get 60% of the vote from YOU in November 2026.
